Haystack Day

It’s Lammas Day, the festival of the wheat harvest and corn dollies. Get back to the country on Walthamstow Marshes this weekend. The hay has been harvested, and now it’s time to form it into giant haystacks. Take your own big daddy, pack your antihistamines and a picnic, and frolic! Saturday is learn-how-to-scythe day (£15 per session – best for older teenagers and adults), while Sunday is build a giant haystack and bring a picnic day – best for younger children. E10. Free. Saturday 30 11am– 6pm, Sunday 31 12pm–4pm. More here
